Question

Using the DMS method to describe an angle, one degree of angle measurement can be divided into how many minutes?

Answer 1

1 degree = 60 minutes

Explanation:

The DMS method is for Degree Minutes Seconds. That allows you to give a precise location the way it's most commonly used on paper maps. Today, with the electronic maps we mostly use the numeric version (34.234 degrees for example).

So, in the DMS method, one degree is basically like an hour on your clock. It can be divided into 60 minutes. Then, those minutes can be divided into 60 seconds. Just like an hour, a degree has 60 minutes and 3600 seconds.
